DINOBLUE (5) returned from a 199 day break by winning the G3 Barberstown Castle Stakes at Naas over 2m by 1.75L. Progressing nicely and well worth a try at Grade 1 level. CAPTAIN GUINNESS (1) won the G2 Fortria Chase at Navan over 2m after a 203 day break by 7L. Placed last season three times at Grade 1 level and sets a solid standard. GENTLEMAN DE MEE (3) was last seen finishing fourth beaten 10L at Punchestown in the G1 Champion Chase. Previously a course and distance winner in February in the G1 Dublin Chase. Interesting when resuming after a 246 days. DYSART DYNAMO (2) finished 11L behind Captain Guiness last time out in the G2 Fortira Chase. Needs to do more to win.
